Congrats to all who finished the half marathon! The morning started out a little rainy but it turned out to be a beautiful day for us. The course was definitely a challenge but nothing that we were not ready for! It's a good thing we ran up and down Patterson Park hill over and over and over again.

We hope that everyone had a wonderful experience with the Canton Club running group. It is a lot easier to reach a goal when you are with a group of people trying to reach a common goal. For those of you who are now preparing to tackle your first marathon please remember the two most important things: consistency and a positive attitude. Negativity is not an option when it comes to training for 26.2 miles.

For those of you who want to continue to run the Canton running club (formerly the Patterson Park running club) will be meeting in front of the gym every Tuesday and Thursday at 7pm. Coach Alex will be providing the 5-mile loop. For the month of June we will also continue with a Saturday morning 9am run for Canton Club members only. The distance for this run will vary from week to week but will be no longer than 1 hour.

Congratulations again! Hopefully you all met some new people, made some new friends with similar interests and accomplished something that you may not have accomplished on your own.

See you all at Bo Brooks on Wednesday for our final celebration!
